The standard way to refer to a citizen of Holy Karenland is as a "Karenthian."

History

The History of Holy Karenland is as follows:
Humans first arrived to the islands roughly around 54000 years ago. They were hunter gatherers, however around 7000 BC they adopted agriculture. They used a language called Theratian, which would later descend into Karenthian, which is spoken today across the nation. They also used a religion called Uerísmo, following 2 gods, a sun god called Kélútú, and a moon god called Uertú. Uertú is believed to be the greater of the two gods, and it is said that he appointed the current Monarchy to rule over all of his believers, and told the prophet, named Rení Karen I to give him a sacrifice every 28 days when there is a full moon. He created a temple near Karí to do so, and he constructed the Temple of Aruí in the year 6732 BC, which we can tell from the enscribings on the temple, and the Karí district of Aruí was names after it.

In 2476 BC, an empire called The Karenthian Empire was born, with its capital, Karí, located on the southern tip of the island, founded, according to legend, by a man called Adems Karen who had a love for Mírkuríes, which are the nations national animal to this day.He was born on the 22nd of August, 2476 BC, which is where the Karenthian calendar starts. This means that for Holy Karenland, the year is 4499 NKÞ(Nutrús Karensé Þerhel(Meaning After Karen’s Birth in Karenthian). The empire conquered all the islands in the area, with it consisting of all of the modern Karenthian territory, and the Northern Coasts of Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and parts of western Libya.

The Empire was destroyed when colonists from Asia, known as the Indo-Europeans, arrived roughly around 800 BC, and they dismantled the empire, replacing their great way of life and buildings with their own, and banishing most of the natives South, where they continued to thrive, or exiling them, forcing them to migrate out to Africa. They set up many of the major cities in the nation today. The First Outside ruler was the Kingdom of Vandalia, Located in Southern Germany, They managed to take over most of Holy Karenland, only avoiding the Italian and Iberian Peninsulas, and ruling over these lands for 326 years, until 474 BC. They would then suffer a civil war, being overthrown by the King’s younger nephew. This would cause the nearby Kingdom of Frisia to invade from the Netherlands, occupying their region of Holy Karenland for 192 years, until 282 BC, when they would collapse due to ethnic tensions.

Holy Karenland would then erupt into a short warlord period, in which the Kingdom of Cymru took over much of the Northwest Forests, Rhenium to take control of the Northeastern Provinces, and the 2nd Karenthian Empire to take control of the south, with several smaller warlords in Central France.

However, there was another mishap which occurred around 43 AD. This was the arrival of Paul, a Christian Apostle, in Roma. At the time, many saw what was happening in Tritonios, and had sympathy for the Christians, with many converting after Paul preached the Bible to them. Many Christians now started to spread across the three states, encouraging Christian Unity, however the north would not oblige so easily, requiring a reason to rejoin.

That reason would come in 92 AD, when the Kingdom of Bayern would take over the northern states, attempting to invade the 2nd Karenthian Empire, culminating at the Battle of Dijon, which they would lose with 42,000 troops against the experienced 28,000 Karenthian army. The northern regions would then, with heavy support by the people, be re-integrated into the Kingdom. During this time, many sympathised with the Tritonian Christians, and decided to go preaching in Illyria, however many were executed by Tritonios.

Around this time, most of the population had become Christian, and so in 188 AD, Christianity replaced Uerísmo as the national religion, which was largely supported by the population.

Around this time, the Idonessan King had come back from his self-induced exile, having converted to Christianity and apparently having been visited by god, however many were skeptical, seeing this as a PR move to retake control of Idonessa. They were absolutely correct. Many Karenthian Christians criticised this move, claiming that couping a nation in the name of God, and causing mass violence in doing so, is the greatest sin one can commit. This caused a great schism in the Christian Church, with the newfound Paulist Church believing the Idonessan king was never contacted by god, due to his sinful act.

When the First Theophanic War began in Tritonios, Holy Karenland decided to ramp up border patrol in Slovene territory, and place large chunks of their navy in the Adriatic Sea on patrol. Most felt apathetic to the sinful Idonessan cause, however they preferred them more than the other side, so many sent monetary aid, often with large crowdsourcing campaigns. However, Holy Karenland also staged an invasion of Dalmatia, moving in with 22,000 Karenthian forces against the Tritonion Federation. Many were not happy with this invasion, however due to the rest of Tritonion being distracted by the Idoessans, and the Dinaric Alps geographically separating Dalmatia from the mainland, Holy Karenland would easily defeat the opposing 7,000 Dalmatian forces at the battle of Rijeka, moving south, and capturing all of Dalmatia, and small parts of western Bosnia and western Montenegro. Holy Karenland would seize Istria in this war, and set up puppet regimes in Dalmatia. Over time, this would cause these areas to convert to Paulist Christianity, and become quite influenced by Karenthian ideals and culture.

In the year 339 AD, the Kingdom of Candon would take over Holy Karenland, causing their puppets in Dalmatia to break away, occupying them for nearly 500 years until 822 AD, when they would be overthrown by the Al Aqrish Sultanate, who would occupy Holy Karenland until 1232 AD, when they would collapse, and Holy Karenland would again fragment into many smaller Kingdoms, one of which being the Kingdom of Britain.

The British arrived in the early 1500s. The infamous John Smithson became the first governor of the Colony of New Yorkshire, comprising the modern day states of Normandie, Bretagne, Nantes, and Centiere. Smithson founded Georgetown, the capital of the colony of Karenthium at the time, while brutally oppressing the indigenous peoples, forcing many of them inland. The province was abandoned in 1522 after the successful Karenthian rebellion. The Kingdom of Holy Karenland was Established on the 5th of March 1522

The Karenthian War of Independence led to a transition from Foreign to Home rule. As turmoil raged in Georgetown, with the British government being forced out and due to the fact that it had been largely destroyed due to conflict, the southern areas of present-day Holy Karenland grew more economically developed than the North. Karenthian merchants traded with local and nearby civilisations through trading hubs such as Jétúpín and Karí.

However, peace was short-lived as rivaling empires sought to conquer the prosperous Holy Karenland. The nation was on the brink of war when the old emperor died and a new emperor, named Kélan Karen, rose to power. Kélan was a charismatic leader who united the people and strengthened the military.

Kélan’s reign ended tragically when he was assassinated by a British Mercenary. His son, Kérin Karen, took over as Emperor and vowed to continue his father’s legacy. Kérin was known for his intelligence and strategic planning, and his reign marked a period of peaceful stability in Holy Karenland.

During Kérin’s reign, the nation continued to prosper and expand its trade relations with other countries. The people enjoyed relative peace, and many advancements were made in the fields of architecture, agriculture, and medicine.

Sadly, Kérin died in a battle that ended the longest war in Holy Karenland’s history, called the Crawley War, occurring in 1796, when Britain tried to retake the nation and failed. The war began due to British claims over Normandie and Bretagne, causing them to declare war. They would land 20,000 forces in Normandie, which would be encricled and destroyed near Omaha beach. This would leave a gap in eneme naval frontlines, allowing Karenthian forces to sail north, with 32,000 Karenthian forces landing in Brighton, and battling with 15,000 British forces at the Battle of Crawley, at which most British forces would be encircled and killed, allowing Karenthian forces to rush London, killing the Monarchy, and Destroying Britain, reannex Ing them. His young son, Kéron Karen, became the new Emperor, but the nation was deeply shaken by the war’s devastating effects.

Kéron’s reign was marked by recovery and reconstruction efforts, as the nation sought to heal and rebuild after the war. Kéron implemented policies that favored reconciliation and unity, and he worked tirelessly to restore Holy Karenland’s glory days, and possibly even bring back the Karenthian Empire. By the end of Kéron’s reign in 1862 CE, Holy Karenland had become a thriving young nation. His Daughter, Panálís, took over.

The island erupted into civil war in 1892 CE, when slavery, which the colonizers had established there, split the island between north and south, with the north doing slavery, and having the British backing it, and the south having the anti-colonialism coalition backing them.

During the war, several Karenthian trade vessels, most notably the KMS Arcachon was sunk by Tritonian Pirates, which were funded by the recently installed Tritonian Government led by Callias Andronikos. On top of this, during the civil war, Tritonios had blocked all trade between themselves and the world at large.

During the course of the civil war, the South mounted a successful campaign against the northern forces, and managed to win the support of key nations who had previously supported the north. This turn of events quickly weakened the northern forces and they were unable to hold out much longer. In 1897 CE, the southern forces launched a decisive attack, completely overwhelming the south and finally putting an end to their push for slavery.

However, the war was not over. Tritonios still had to pay for their crimes, and so, a Karenthian expedition of 300,000 men sailed up to Tritonios, landing in the provinces of Romá and Thalássia, eventually moving into Peloponnesus and South Ivíria. This combined with a Karenthian blockade of Peloponnesus from mainland Tritonios caused the country to cave, allowing Holy Karenland to force the nation to open up to foreign trade.

With the south's defeat, slavery was abolished and the island moved towards becoming a more equal and free society for all. The war left many scars on the island, but it also paved the way for a new era of peace and prosperity. The people of the island could finally begin to heal and rebuild, knowing that they were all equal citizens of their land.

The nation remained out of war until 1908CE, when a small minority of people called the Léas in the modern day provinces of Jéué Klúkí and Jétúpín rebelled. Holy Karenland stopped the rebellion however, and made the Léas a minority even within their own land, resettling their peninsula with Karenthian people.

Holy Karenland would undergo a major rebellion in 1916, with the people demanding Democracy, and Holy Karenland becoming a Parliamentary Republic

Following the abolition of slavery, Holy Karenland experienced a period of stability and growth. The country became a hub of trade, with its ports servicing ships from all across the South Medser. The government invested in education, building schools and universities across the country, and as a result, the literacy rate of Holy Karenland skyrocketed.

The country also made strides in renewable energy, harnessing its abundant sources of wind and solar power. The government passed laws to protect the environment, shifting towards a more eco-friendly.

During this time, Holy Karenland became a great place for tourism. The government took this to their advantage and started to bring up prices, and as a result, the country started to see more cash.

In more recent years, Holy Karenland started to heavily militarise, preparing for conflict with any nations which oppose them. They would focus mainly on their navy and air force, and left their army a bit behind, however it remained strong.
